Obviously everyone will have an eye on Charl Schwartzel who emerges from the Masters with a brilliant winning performance that had him playing steady all week, and then catching fire when everything was on the line with four birdies on the last four holes.

Tiger Woods

One would never dream of counting Tiger Woods out of it, and if he had simply made the cut at The Players Championship you wouldn't.

But with a bad knee and his TPC WD, he does not seem to have his much discussed comeback in good enough shape to challenge for The John Deere, let alone the U.S. Open.

If Tiger had added all the muscle mass to his legs that he added to his upper body, he'd probably be a candidate to win the U.S. Open this year, and perhaps get a spot on the Olympic Decathlon team as well.
